Another great space for collaborating women!
The WCC was created as a new model of women’s self care. It is an organization and free-standing center that contributes to the well-being and empowerment of women. It provides women a safe, nurturing, and exciting environment to receive support, exchange information, and through personal and collective empowerment, create change.
The WCC was founded in the spirit of several social and political movements that recognize women have great strength, inner resources, power, and wisdom to generate growth for themselves and others. The WCC was especially inspired by the feminist consciousness-raising movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, as well as more recent global and postmodern feminist movements that continues to inform the holistic needs of women today.
While the consciousness-raising movement began with the recognition among women that they were disconnected from one another and needed to reconnect and share in their common experiences; the postmodern and global movements currently recognize women in their distinct and diverse multiple identities worldwide. It is through these standpoints that women over time continue to realize that we are not alone in our experiences and that what we may believe to be “individual” challenges are often shared as a common sentiment among one another.
Today many women still hold this belief. Therefore creating a space that is open to women of all ages, races, ethnicities, sexual identities, religions, languages, nationalities, and social and economic backgrounds is necessary for sharing the journey of womanhood and the process of personal and collective freedom and awakening.
